Rapper PnB Rock talked about how other musicians felt like they were being targeted for robbery only days before he was fatally shot in Los Angeles.
PnB Rock said that criminals in the city were “bold” and shared a story about a time when he, his girlfriend, and his child were being followed in an interview with YouTuber DJ Akademiks about a week before he was shot and killed during a robbery while at Roscoe’s House of Chicken ‘N Waffles on Monday.
You don’t want to be nervous, so I’m trying to be cool, he remarked. You desire the greatest level of peace for your family.

Robberies targeting members of the rap industry, he claimed, are “frequent.”
The rapper declared, “I never was robbed, ever in my life.” I’m not superstitious, but I haven’t been robbed, so I won’t say “never.”
PnB Rock continued by saying that he avoided going to places like nightclubs where he would be preyed upon by people leading a “gangster” lifestyle.
Because he was aware of the outcomes, he declared, “I’m not going to put myself in those positions.”
PnB and a friend were “enjoying a simple meal,” according to Los Angeles Police Department Chief Michael Moore, when they were “brutally attacked by an individual,” who, according to police, “came to the location after the artist and the woman accompanying him” identified where they were eating on social media. Mr. PnB Rock was shot and died during the ensuing struggle solely because of the jewels and valuables he was wearing, according to Moore.
According to LAPD, the murder investigation is still open.
